If you're a Vodafone customer, you can now keep up to date with how Team GB is doing in the Beijing Olympic Games.

Vodafone has teamed up with the BBC to launch an Olympic News Service widget.

It will give customers access to a free service which will bring all of the BBC Sport coverage of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games straight to their mobile phone.

And, for the first time on Vodafone live!, sports fans will be able to personalise the Vodafone sport homepage so that they can get to the coverage they want quicker.

The deal includes access to video highlights free of charge, and Vodafone customers who use the N95 8GB handsets will also be able to download and install a mobile BBC Sports news widget.

The service will be available until 31 August to the 10 million Vodafone mobile internet users in the UK.
